Line edge roughness (LER) has been an important issue in the nanofabrication research, especially in integrated circuits. Despite numerous research studies has made efforts on achieving smaller LER value, a strategy to achieve sub-nanometer level LER still remains challenging due to inability to deposit energy with a profile of sub-nanometer LER. In this work, we introduce a strategy to fabricate structures with sub-nanometer LER, specifically, we use scanning helium ion beam to expose hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) resist on thin SiNx membrane (∼20 nm) and present the 0.

In microfluidic systems, it is important to maintain flow stability to execute various functions, such as chemical reactions, cell transportation, and liquid injection. However, traditional flow sources, often bulky and prone to unpredictable fluctuations, limit the portability and broader application of these systems. Existing fluidic stabilizers, typically designed for specific flow sources, lack reconfigurability and adaptability in terms of the stabilization ratios.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how different venting directions affect explosion pressure in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipelines through experiments and simulations.
  • Results indicate that venting from a vertical branch significantly decreases the pressure in that branch, while venting from the horizontal branch drastically reduces peak pressure across both branches, by up to 73.55%.
  • The findings are important for designing safer LPG pipelines by optimizing venting locations, selecting materials that can withstand negative pressure, and improving sensor accuracy.

Fully biodegradable packaging materials are demanded to resolve the issue of plastic pollution. However, the fresh food storage performance of biodegradable materials is generally much lower than that of plastics due to their high permeability, microbial friendliness, and limited stretchability and transparency. Here a biodegradable packaging material is reported with high fresh food storage performance based on an oil-infused bacterial cellulose (OBC) porous film.

Background: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has become an increasingly vital tool for modifying gene expression in a variety of cell types. Lentiviral transduction and electroporation are the two main approaches used to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 into cells. However, the application of CRISPR/Cas9 in primary hematopoietic cells has been limited due to either low transduction efficiency in terms of viral-based delivery or difficult selection and enrichment of transfected and edited cells with respect to electroporation of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP).

Bacteriophage T7 gene coding for the only known holin is one of the components of its lysis system, but the holin activity in T7 is more complex than a single gene, and evidence points to the existence of additional T7 genes with holin activity. In this study, a T7 phage with a gene deletion (T7-△holin) was rescued and its biological characteristics and effect on cell lysis were determined. Furthermore, the genomic evolution of mutant phage T7-△holin during serial passage was assessed by whole-genome sequencing analysis.

Background: At present, the process of inspection and quarantine starts with sampling at the customs port, continues with transporting the samples to the central laboratory for inspection experiments, and ends with the inspected results being fed back to the port. This process had the risks of degradation of biological samples and generation of pathogenic microorganisms and did not meet the rapid on-site detection demand because it took a rather long time. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a rapid and high-throughput detection assay of pathogenic microorganisms at the customs port.
